- Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have "muscled their way back into AI's elite ranks," defying early obituaries of their efforts and closing the gap on a new generation of Silicon Valley startups.
- SpaceX and Meta, "long stuck in AI's second tier," are posting recent gains that put new pressure on the existing AI hierarchy.
Why it matters: With SpaceX and Meta now muscling into AI's elite tier after extended stints in the second tier, two of tech's most resource-backed players are narrowing the lead held by newer Silicon Valley startups and reshaping the competitive order.
